okies lang yan...sobrang excited na ako sa upcoming uaap season...feeling ko team to beat talaga sila...with the heart break and the experience they got from last season especially for our rookies will only make them a better and hugier team... :c7:

The LadySpikers should've gotten more individual awards in Baguio if not forthe pre-arranged distribution limiting them to a maximum of three. Forone, based on stats, Alarca should've won the best server award.

Butwinning individual awards, and even the championship for that matter,weren't really the primary purpose of the team in joining thetournament. The team is trying fine-tune to improve from last season.

Thecoaching staff is confident Mika Esperanza can make the Spikers offensehum. They credit Cruz' and Mercado's superb showing to Mika's excellentsetting. This early, she fits the Spikers like a glove. Can't imaginewhat she'll become after a few months work with Chi Saet.

Theodosio was used as the primary libero in Baguio and she stepped up big time. Looks like we found an able back-up to Gohing.

CoachRamil is, of course, not only looking at S73 but also beyond. Mercadoand Alarca will be playing their last this coming season while Cruz canstill play 'til S74 but will be graduating this year. So replacementsfor these vital cogs must be developed starting this year. In thisaspect, the coach believes the reserve and the current batch ofrecruits have what he needs.

Three of the recruits are from theprovinces--from Batangas, Bulacan, and Cebu--and the rest are from MM.No need to indicate their positions; what with coach Ramil's knack forconverting players, what's the point, right? All we need to know isthat they'll be developed to replace those leaving the team. Several ofthem are potent attackers and two are superb blockers--better than Siywhen she first showed up in La Salle.

Funny somebody mentioned about using two setters, the 6-2 formation was tried in practice before Baguio. Nice to watch!
